Obama is going to announce a plan to withdraw a whole 30k troops from Afghanistan in time for the next election. Thats the 30k HE sent there who prob are at the end of their tour anyway and in no way addresses the rest of the 70K or an end to this pointless effort that he promised to change if he was elected. So whats a guy to do? Support people who you would like to replace him. In this case its going to be a republican because no democrats will run against and independents are unelectable.
In my previous post A republican you can get behind I suggested people support Gary Johnson, a republican candidate who is a fiscal conservative who's record is moderate on social issues. I would put forth anthother republican candidate that I think people could vote for instead of Obama. That would be John Huntsman who announced his plan to run today.
Neither of these guy are going to get the republican nod if "independents" dont get off their butt and involve themselves in Republican caucuses. It will go to one of the crazy social conservatives because those are the people who care enough to be involved in Primary elections.
When the choices for president ends up a choice between two evils, blame yourself not the system. And just incase you are holding out hope that the American Military can solve the tribal issues in the middle east that have been going on for 3000+ years..check out how we are doing with our own sectarian conflicts
